Vintage Queen no 112: Lindsay from the Netherlands

“I’m Lindsay, I was born and raised in the small country called the Netherlands. Ever since I was a little child I’ve been enchanted by the movies from the Thirties and Forties and these have been my favorite eras ever since. I thought of it as a world much prettier than the world I lived in (the modern day era).

The clothing, the designs – the interiors and exteriors – all appealed to me. Also the behaviour of people, which I think was more respectful than it is nowadays.

I feel confident in my vintage clothing and I often experience the feeling that I have been born in the wrong era.

I started with pin-up modelling, which I’ve been doing for seven years now. I felt so much at home in those elegant dresses, hats and shoes that it became daily wear for me.

Later on I expanded my modelling work to pure authentic and vintage photos only and that is what I do for a living now.

I am what you can call a ‘nostalgist’. Together with my partner we are also decorating our home as if it was dropped by a time machine into the modern world. My partner, too, dresses vintage everyday!”
